and for many years was Judge of Probate, Judge of Common Pleas, and member of the Council. All the others seem to have adopted teaching as a temporary expedient, while studying some other profession, or waiting for more desirable employment. There are now engaged in the service of the city three veterans, whose lives have been devoted to this work, and whose terms of service commenced as follows:— Aaron B. Magoun, Harvard Grammar School, 1838. Daniel Mansfield, Washington Grammar School, 1842. Benjamin W. Roberts, Allston Grammar School, 1848. In addition to these should be mentioned Dr. Alvah C.

Meantime, an increase of population and wealth commenced, which from year to year became more rapid. Various manufactures were introduced, giving employment to many workmen. Merchants, mechanics, and others, transacting business in Boston, adopted Cambridge as a residence. With this increase came naturally a demand for public improvements and increased expenditures.
